Vaccine safety for Trevor ❤️

Trevor is a very handsome, 4 year old Dachshund, who stayed the day with us recently to safely receive his yearly vaccines. Back in 2023, Trevor unfortunately had a vaccine reaction, which presented as vomiting and facial swelling. While this was treatable and is ultimately possible with any injection or drug, we now give Trevor an antihistamine injection before his yearly vaccines. He stays in hospital with us so we monitor him closely and thankfully he has not had a reaction since! 🥹 Trevor was on his best behaviour and let us sneak many cuddles in 🥰

Surgery for sweet boy Kuma 🤍

Kuma is a very handsome American Bully, who was in with us recently for a Cystotomy. After imaging (radiographs and ultrasound) confirmed the presence of urinary stones in Kuma’s bladder, he was scheduled for surgical removal 🩺

4 stones were removed from Kuma’s bladder, ranging from 3mm - 8mm in size. He is our 6th Cystotomy in the last 6 months! These urinary stones are sent off to the Minnesota Urolith Center in the US, where they are analysed to see what mineral type the stones are made of, and therefore, the best treatment for Kuma moving forward 💒

Kuma was a very brave boy throughout his stay with us and is healing very well 🥹 He has since been back bouncing around like a mad man for his recheck 👏🏼

Signs of urinary stones in dogs:
- Frequently trying to urinate
- Straining to urinate
- Blood in urine
- Accidents in the house
- Abdominal pain
- Lethargy
- Vomitting
- Off food

If you’re worried about any of these symptoms in your pet, don’t wait! Call us on 9344 8722 🤍

ADOPTION 🩶

Hi everyone, We have these 5 beautiful babies available for adoption! They are super shy but friendly and would benefit a patient, loving family of their own. As all of our kittens are stray or abandoned, who have had little to no human interaction, they require a lot of hands on work to get them comfortable and out of their shells. While we do as much as we can to help them sometimes they need a little longer to warm up in a home 🥹

LETS TALK BRACHYS

While Brachycephalic breeds are commonly seen at MVH, we highly recommend educating yourself on breed specific health issues that may or may not occur. Unfortunately for our flat faced friends they do come with a long list of their own!

What dog breeds are classed as brachycephalics?
- French Bulldogs
- English Bulldogs
- Australian Bulldogs
- Pugs
- Boxers
- Boston Terriers
- Pekingese
- Shih Tzu
- Brussels Griffon
- + A few others

Now lets list a few problems:
• 🤰🏼 For Pugs & Frenchies: due to their narrow hips and large skulls, it is rare for them to deliver naturally whilst giving birth, resulting in C-sections.
• ❤️‍🩹 Average lifespan is as low as 4.5 years.
• 🩻 IVDD (Intravertebral Disc Disease) is extremely common and the biggest killer for young animals of these breeds.
• 🤝🏼 Most with no tail & altered skulls makes communication with other dogs difficult.
• 🌬️ Many struggle every minute just to breathe, due to long soft palates & stenotic nares (narrow nostrils).
• ❤️‍🔥 Higher risk of heat stroke.
• 👂🏼Skin folds = dermatitis.
• 👁️ Buldging eyes are more likely to get corneal ulcers.
• 🪢 80% of Frenchies have spinal malformations.
• 🦠 Gastrointestinal issues such as reflux, vomiting, regurgitation, gas, and inflammation.
• 🦷 Dental problems due to overcrowding
+ So much more.

Did you know that frenchies alone are predisposed to:
- Cherry eyes
- Atopic dermatitis
- Mast cell tumours
- Patella luxation
- Entropion
- Keratoconjunctivitis sicca (dry eye)
- Hip dysplasia
- Meningitis
These can be seen amoung other brachycephalic breeds too.

What can you do to help?
• Insure your pet! If this is a breed you have chosen to take on, they are going to be expensive! Look into policies that will cover breed specific health issues.
• Be financially ready to support these breeds. They already cost a few thousand to buy, so don’t be upset when it costs you more to treat them.
• Clean their skin folds and stay on top of their hygiene!
• Walk wisely - do not exercise them in the heat or let them over do it.
• Consult with your vet! We are always here to help with whatever issue may or may not occur in your pet.
• Consider BOAS surgery!
We offer and highly advise to do any BOAS (Brachycephalic Obstructive Airways Syndrome) corrective surgery whilst under one anaesthetic, such as desexing. This surgery includes widening of the nostrils and a soft palate resection. Not only is it cheaper with the discounted anaesthetic at the time of desexing, but means less anaesthetics for your pets.

Feel free to talk to one of our staff members about BOAS surgery if your brachycephalic friend is suffering from any of the following:
- Snoring
- Rapid breathing
- Narrowed nostrils
- Tracheal narrowing
- Laryngeal collapse
- Everted laryngeal saccules
- Struggling to perform physical activity.

Let’s help these breeds breathe easy and have a comfortable long life, know what to look out for & be educated on the signs and symptoms of each possible health issue 🤍
